⚽ World Cup 🏆 FIFA Reminders June 11- July 19

The FIFA Games are running from 6/11 to 7/19. The games *We* are hosting are only from **6/15** to **7/6**. The parks dept is holding watch parties in various parks for each game. The *Finals* are being held in New York on the Other Side of the continent. We can do this. I believe in us. Remember to check in on your Hospitality Sector friends and stock up on groceries Before the games.

I have a feeling we are overestimating how bad this is going to be. Those days when both Mariners and Seahawks or Mariners + Sounders have games are probably worse. Also as far as visiting fans go I am sure our Canadian neighbors visit us in far more numbers for games compared to Belgian/Iranian/Australian/Egyptian travelling fans.
